Af ter the -Primary and my reelection as a Republicail Precinct Comnitteeman j on a platform advocating the defeat of Peter M. Hoffman as a member of the Republican County Central Comiittee. the writer personally endeavored to get ail of the the ýCommitteemen of the. Third Commissioner's district together in open ýmeeting to select by ballot their. leader to become a hemnber of the County. Central committee, instead, of fol lowing the old-fashioned xethod of canvassing. for, individual proxies among the' committeemen,. The effort to se- cure hramony failed.,. However, Hoff- nian's defeat was brought about in his own precinct, mot by' Henry Fowýler butby Edwvin D. Macuekie,- so that Hoffman was no longer eligible for memb ership in the County Central Coin- miittee. Cail oble Assertion Ina«curate Now for the, inaccurate statement made by Mr. Goble, referring, as he says. to Mr. Fowler's political record of r activities agaiinst thie so-called Snell- Ickes Croup: He says in WiiNfITrrE- LIiE of April 2nd: -In 1930 the Third Cominissioner'ý, District comprised* the townships.of Leyden, Norwood Park, Maine, Niles, Nbrthfield and New, Trier. Then it was that Peter Hoffman and Harold Ivkes contested for C6unty Central éommitteernan. Peter Hoffman won, Peter H&:ffiinan polled the larges8t vote of bis career and probably Mnost of our vitizens voted for hlm-." This statement is wvholly inaccurate. Peter Hoîfnati was îîot then electeil to any,ý office by "thie largest vote of bis career,'? but by the aid of Mr. Eowler and others of the precinct cominittee- mnen froni the Third Commissioner's' dis- trict he was in the year of 1930 electeil to repre.sent the Third Commissioner's district as a member of the County Cen- tral Committee through controlling the proxies of a mai ority of the precinct committeemen. Mr. Goble furtber states in the sanie article: **In 1932 after floffmnan's los of prestige Henry rowler ,cont:ested mith Peter Hoffman on Prima?>' Day in Hoffman's own precinct, and Hof- port Mr. Snell. The nanies of those five committeemen are well knciwn andt can easilyr be furnished. Then it was that Mr. Snell was chosen a member .of the County Central Commnittee in 1932 _ to represent the Third Cominissioner's district. Mr. ckes was not a.precinet committeeman in 1932 andwàs there- fore flot a miember of the, Republicani County Central committee. Afterý the prilmaiies in. 1932 he aligned hiniseif witb the D)emocratic: party and thus completely eliminated him, self froin the1 Republican pictur e except 'insofar -as he later recognized some of those who hadA loyally supported bi.m..in bis 193 contest against Mr. Hoffmnan« long before the NEW DEAL was even dreamned of, and who bail also supportedl Mrs. Ickes in-Winnetka during the time when she1 was a member of the Illinois State As- semibly., Among those was Mr. Snell who about May 1, 1933, accepted the position of Director.of.-the United States Government Owned and, Operated Alas-. kan Railway. En«Iorses Gmrduer Because Henry Fowler bas by his silence permitted and encouraged thej injecting of f aise issues into the cani- paigp for District Committeemnan; be- cause Mr. Fowler by bis silence has ap-- proveil the erroneous statements above referred to, whichi must have been knowvn by himi to be erroneous, thus accepting credit for bimiself for the defeat of ex- sherif Peter M. Hoffman; because Mr. Fowler bas. permitteil the sanie false' issue to be included in bis campaign literature, and because Mr. Fowler 'did. not at any tinie actively support the in- surrection against the leadlership and domination of tbe Galpin-Crowe-Hoff- man group in the County Central Com- mittee in 1928; because 1 cani find no record and have* no knowledge of Mr. Fowler at any time activeiy opposing the bi-partisan deals wbereby the. party bosses have. virtually appointeil the j.udges of 'our Circuit and Superior courts, I cannot now support bu nfor District Committeeman to,. represent New Trier Township.
